Yes, Smarty Pants' FAQ page specifies that they use porcine gelatin, but are working on a vegetarian version.

Thank you, too- I actually thought they were vegetarian until I went back to check! �

I didn't mean to just answer yes. I was on my phone when I clicked that. Gelatin is derived from the collagen of animals. That could be cow or pig. Or other animals. Unless it details where they got the gelatin from no one can correctly answer yes or no because we do not know the source of their gelatin.

It isn't written on the bottle. However, it does say that it is not for vegetarians. I would ask a pharmacist but I doubt it is from pork. Gelatine is usually produced from either beef, fish or vegetable. Hope this helps. Patricia

Other ingredients: Gelatin (bovine, USP Halal); Glycerin Vegetable , USP, Kosher) Purified water This information was listed on the back of the bottle you show here. www.amazingherbs.com

I looked on my bottle. It just says gelatin, doesn't mention pork. The allergen warning is for soy. So I can't say for sure.

It doesn't say. It just says gelatin on the bottle. If you would like I can give you their customer service number if you want to call them.

In essence. both June and James don't know if the gelatin is animal based. We still need an intelligent answer.

There's nothing on the bottle regarding where the gelatin is derived from. Try www.naturewise.com. I've found them to be very helpful with questions I've had.

Yes, you are correct. Gelatin is animal derived. This product lists "kosher gelatin" as an ingredient, which I believe is used in making the soft gel. So, although the supplement itself may be all plant derived, the delivery is not. So not vegan or vegetarian as currently offered.

I don't know if this product contains pork derivatives. The label does not identify the collagen source and there is no "kosher" marking on the box. I would recommend writing to the company.

I don't know what kind of gelatin, but it also contains arachis oil which is a peanut oil. I found that the capsule does not always dissolve, so it never gets to your intestines. I will not purchase this brand again.

Probably you will have to contact the company. The label only says "gelatin" and does not say the source of it.

It doesn't say much about it being halal, vegan or if friendly to any other food-related diets.. so unless you call the company and ask them, it's hard to tell. Even on their website they don't say what type of gelatin it is.

No pork is listed on the ingredients. The gel capsule is made from beef gelatin. The fish oil is from anchovies and sardines.

No. It is a powdered root. Gelatinizing is done by a heating process. No gelatin pork products involved.

Bovine Gelatin means it comes from cows. Most gelatin that is used in pills/supplements on the market seems to come from pork. I try, where possible, to buy from companies that use a vegetarian capsule instead of the typical pork and beef formulations.

The bottle does not say it has gelatin in it as I would not have purchase it if it had. I was looking for a veggie capsule because I try to keep kosher. Others might be vegetarians. Gelatin often comes from a pig rather than a cow. I had looked all over in all the drug stores I had access to before I found this one on-line. To be exact, the bottle says (mine does) it contains: "Vitamin D 3 50,000 units, Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable capsule. (Kosher and Halal certified). Contains no Dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, gluten, soy, sugar, yeast or artificial colors.' You have to be looking at something else; or, they've changed the product since I bought mine, but the bottle looks the same. The best you should do is contact the manufacturer. But, again, there is no word at all about "Gelatin" on my bottle. I just looked at the enlarged type on the bottle above and am concerned you've written an untruth about this product I looked all over for. There isn't a word about its having "Gelatin" in it and you should apologize. What I quoted is exactly what appears on the bottle pictured above. I wrote that before I checked to see what the bottle above says wondering how I could have missed that after searching for a couple of years for a kosher version.
